Historic Homes for Sale - 524 W Portland Street, Phoenix AZ

Welcome to one of the Greatest Streets in America! (My opinion anyway). This was the first house built in the Kenilworth Addition. This historic home located in the Roosevelt District, was constructed in 1911 and has gone through some changes over the years. Most recently, the exterior has been painted, oak flooring in place, some interior changes including adding a primary bedroom downstairs (2nd primary, is up). Updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, classy backsplash & shaker style cabinetry Ceiling fans everywhere they need to be. Built in shelves in the 'dining'' area as well as the upstairs bedroom/office. The Guest house runs on its own utilities, features a full size range/oven, refrigerator and stacked Washer/Dryer. 

The heated pool has a Water Feature, along with a cover to close it down over the winter months. The adjacent pool house is perfect to use as a changing room or small studio (Art, Video, Photography etc). A free standing 1 car garage also included built in cabinets for added storage. Both the home and Guest house have tankless water heaters. The Root Cellar is perfect for wine storage.

This wonderful 4 bedroom historic home, also has some arts & crafts style built-ins throughout, they are custom, and compatible with the era of the home. This home was owned by John A. Monroe, from 1911 to 1920. It is the perfect example of a one and half story "bungaloid". John was a local Realtor, was on the Maricopa County Real Estate Board as the elected Vice President. He also briefly the superintendent of county schools. His wife, Blanche, remained in the house, taking in borders to supplement her income until the mid 1940's.
